3.55ls is my rearend. i see your point about saving miles. i wish i had a little focus or aspire or something for the little grocery runs. those little trips add up and sure keep the gas gauge moving!!

no one's being a jerk here dustin...its totally true that ++rpm = ++ fuel used.

Yeah Dustin the more rpms the more fue consumed for sure. Its just neat to me that there is vehicles out there that you can still get over 30 mpg, and drive fast!

Sometimes i do yeah lol. but let me tell ya, the pocketbook likes it!

I think my woman is gonna be driving the civic in the wintertime anyways, and since i dont really want to leave my diesel parked in edmonton unplugged for long periods of time, i think Im gonna get another gas truck to drive there and back

No preppy i am right now as we speak for city mileage next highway trip ill figure it out but i know i know last trip i went about 500 kms on a tank or close to it i MIGHT be wrong im sure iam thats kind of hard to believe

Thats from Saskatoon to Estevan 5 hour drive


Okay so from Saskatoon to Estevan is about 419.712 km i went whole way about 2 stops cruise set at speed limits probably the best i have got
and that was on the front tank only!! about which is about 19 gallons
